Good things take time. 
…Great things take slime! 

Arts in the Yard is The Lock‑Up’s monthly, hands‑on contemporary art program for youth and their families. Except this time, we’re going slow, soft, and slightly slime‑adjacent. 🐌

For this special edition, A soft space to stand artist Lovedavid brings his ongoing (perhaps lifelong) project Snail Services into the Yard. Part workshop, part manifesto, part collective daydream, this session invites kids (and the grown‑ups who love them) to make, wander, think, and share side by side. 

Whether you draw, watch, wander, or simply come along to think, the snail will find the artist in you.
